Chapter 121: Demon and Spiritual Energy

(PS: Thanks to Alliance Leader fdtsubasa for the alliance reward. This extra chapter is added as a sign of gratitude. Thanks again for the support.)

Su Xing blocked in front of Qiuqiu and Dafuni.

This passage was the same as the passage he entered, a single passage, with a wall behind it, so he only needed to guard the front entrance.

Originally, Su Xing intended to rush forward and solve these headless knights, but he always had a feeling of being watched from behind. It seemed that the coffins and corpses in this passage had some kind of threat, which made him dare not leave for a moment, and could only stand with his knife before Qiuqiu and Dafuni.

The headless knights drew their swords, but they didn't enter the passage, but stood silently at the entrance of the passage.

Su Xing was silent for a few seconds, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart. He seemed to see some twisted shadows at the corner of his eyes, but he couldn't see anything when he looked carefully. And I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that the largest skeletons in the passage were looking at him and Qiuqiu and the others.

As time passed, this strange feeling became more intense, especially the shadows at the corner of his eyes, the feeling of being watched from behind, and the feeling that the skeletons seemed to be coming alive, all of which made Su Xing's muscles tense.

At this time, there was a slight groan behind him, but it was Dafuni who woke up.

Su Xing immediately said: "Dafuni, wake up!"

This voice used the "Sound Strike" in the Tiger Demon Skill, but it didn't fill with Qi Jin. But to Dafuni's ears, it was like thunder. She, whose consciousness was still a little ignorant, was shocked, and her spirit and consciousness immediately cleared.

Su Xing said in a low voice: "Take good care of Qiuqiu!"

"Su Xing? Where is Qiuqiu?" Dafuni was surprised to see Su Xing standing in front of her. She hurriedly looked around, but didn't see any sign of Qiuqiu. The next second, Su Xing rushed out of the passage, facing the incoming sword light and shadow, and slashed back with his knife.

Facing one or two enemies in a face-to-face battle is completely different from facing a group of enemies.

Why is three a crowd? Because this reality is not a game, nor is it turn-based. The so-called "two fists are hard to beat with four hands," as long as it is not flesh against Gundam, three adult strong men who are not afraid and do not dodge can beat Tyson to death on the spot face-to-face!

In reality, if there is a strong person who can beat ten adults face-to-face, then as long as this person has enough room to move and basic weapons and armor, he can even kill a thousand people!

The reason why there are so-called "ten-man enemies," "hundred-man enemies," and "taking the general's head in the army" in ancient times is nothing more than fast horses and precious armor, plus not encountering enemies who are not afraid of death. Or if it is not a romance category, it is a non-human who moves with a hundred-jin or thousand-jin weapon.

This headless knight's strength is actually not very strong. Basically, it is slightly weaker than the first elite-level monster Su Xing encountered when entering the Demon Castle, which is the giant bear. But they have no concept of life and death, and vaguely form a battle formation, advancing and retreating with degree, and holding swords. When Su Xing rushed out of the passage, all the swords stabbed and slashed at his upper, middle, and lower parts, almost forming a net.

Su Xing only had a single knife to break through, relying on speed to dodge two weapons, and then slashed four weapons upward with the single knife. But immediately after, a hammer hit his shoulder, a sword stabbed his lower ribs, and another knife slashed a piece of meat from his back.

In an instant, Su Xing was covered in blood, but he still rushed forward, crashing into a headless knight alive, and with a rotation of his big knife, two more headless knights were beaten into pieces.

In less than a second, three headless knights were shattered and collapsed, and Su Xing had already rushed into their formation. With his body carrying three wounds, the knife rose and walked, and the jade color flashed at the entrance of the passage. A series of knife lights swept across, and two more headless knights were cut into two sections.

The remaining headless knights swarmed up. Su Xing was stabbed in the edge of his abdomen by another sword, but at the same time as he was stabbed, his big knife slashed and hacked, and he slapped a headless knight who stabbed him with one palm. The palm brought wind and thunder, and he slapped the headless knight's chest armor to pieces with one palm, also beating it into pieces.

In less than five seconds, all the headless knights blocking the entrance of the passage exploded, turning into powder on the ground. And Su Xing was also covered in blood, and the wounds on his body looked very scary.

However, Su Xing didn't care at all, just turned around and rushed into the passage, picked up the unconscious Qiuqiu with one hand, and lifted Dafuni by the back of her neck with the other, dragging these two women out of the passage.

As soon as he came out of the passage, Su Xing saw that the skeletons on both sides of the passage were trembling, but they only trembled a few times and then became still. And the feeling of crisis that followed him like a shadow also disappeared instantly.

Only then did Su Xing breathe a sigh of relief, and Dafuni immediately asked anxiously: "Where is Qiuqiu? Didn't you let me protect Qiuqiu?"

Su Xing said softly: "This is Qiuqiu."

Dafuni looked at the woman on the ground in surprise. Before, it was this woman who took her to escape, dodged several pursuits by headless knights, and finally hid in this dead end. But she didn't expect that this closed small passage would suddenly extend many chains from the wall, piercing her and the woman's wrists and ankles, hanging them in mid-air like this.

She didn't know that this woman was Qiuqiu.

"... No wonder."

Dafuni remembered the incident where Qiuqiu was involved in the Demon Castle during the Chaos Storm. She was also implicated and involved together.

Su Xing didn't speak. He was breathing heavily, and at the same time moving his whole body's blood and blood qi to heal his injuries quickly. A few seconds later, the wounds on his body stopped bleeding, and the muscles twitched slightly, making the wound area smaller.

Only then did he open his eyes and look at Dafuni: "Any important information?"

Although Dafuni looked like a seven or eight-year-old girl, her age was estimated to be far beyond what her appearance showed, and her thinking was not childish. She immediately understood Su Xing's meaning and told her and Qiuqiu's encounter.

"... Headless knights only patrol on the big passage. They don't enter the small passage."

"... This is a maze, only big passages and small passages. There are headless knights on the big passage, and the small passage seems safe, but it is actually very dangerous. She and I... and Qiuqiu were caught by those chains in the small passage. If you hadn't come, we would have died inside."

Su Xing listened to this information carefully, nodded, took out a meatball from his leather pocket and handed it to Dafuni, then ate one himself, and took another one and chewed it up and fed it to Qiuqiu mouth-to-mouth.

Dafuni swallowed the meatball in a few bites. She looked at Su Xing feeding Qiuqiu the meatball with a blush, and then heard Su Xing say: "There are no headless knights nearby. Let's rest here for a while, and then search forward along the big passage." Dafuni nodded, regardless of the wounds on her wrists and ankles, and sat down on the ground. But as soon as she sat down, she felt her eyelids heavy and her whole body soft.

Although she and Qiuqiu didn't die, they had been bled a lot. At this time, while digesting this meat, the special ingredients in the wild boar meat also began to heal their bodies slowly, which made her feel even more tired. Plus Su Xing's arrival made her nervous heart relax, and in just a few seconds, Dafuni actually fell asleep sitting down.

Seeing this, Su Xing wouldn't blame anything. He also sat down holding Qiuqiu, and silently moved his blood qi, digesting the wild boar meatball in his stomach quickly, replenishing his strength, and recovering from his injuries.

Since entering the Demon Castle, he has been running and finding his way, and has been fighting constantly, especially the battle with the bronze Minotaur, which made him use almost all his means except for the trump card of entering the devil.

By now, he actually needed to rest urgently.

As Su Xing became silent, his flesh, muscles, and spirit were slowly changing.

The flesh and muscles were slowly strengthening. After killing those commander-level monsters, especially after killing the bronze Minotaur, the "experience value" fed back by the Demon Castle began to take effect. At the same time, negative aspects and pollution were also invading his body, but fortunately, the Sleeping Spiritual Light was burning at all times, and the influence of this mental negative aspect on him was extremely slight.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Until ten hours later, Qiuqiu's body trembled slightly, her eyes opened, and she immediately looked around, and then saw Su Xing holding her for the first time. Immediately, her heart calmed down, and she just leaned on Su Xing's chest without moving.

"Goudan, wake up if you are awake."

!

Su Xing said softly.

"Pa!"

Qiuqiu furiously hit her forehead against Su Xing's forehead, bruising her own forehead, and then opened her mouth and bit Su Xing's arm.

Su Xing stood up directly, letting Qiuqiu hang on his arm, and this movement also woke up Dafuni who was half-awake. She was shocked and immediately stood up from the ground.

Su Xing didn't care about the two women, he stood up and looked carefully at the two sides of this passage, those coffins, those withered bones, and some pictures and patterns on the wall.

Only then could he be calm and composed.

"Dafuni, can you understand the words on it?" Su Xing pointed to the words carved on a coffin and asked.

Dafuni immediately stepped forward to identify carefully. She said while looking: "I have been hiding, being chased by those headless knights, and didn't have time to check here at all... No, I can't understand. I have never seen or heard these words."

But didn't expect, Qiuqiu in the side suddenly said in surprise: "These... I know some of them."

Su Xing and Dafuni looked at her in surprise. Qiuqiu walked to the coffin and looked carefully, and reached out to touch the texture and said: "That's right, this is Demon Script."

"Demon Script?" Su Xing and Dafuni asked in unison.

Qiuqiu said with some confusion and memories: "This is the Demon Script passed down from the high-level Great Demon to the descendants through bloodline. I have also obtained part of the inheritance, but I don't recognize all of it... It says, Xuan Bird and Qing... fighting, the eighth year of the war, died in... I don't recognize the back."

During the conversation, Qiuqiu went to see other coffins and confirmed many Demon Scripts. Seven out of ten coffins were engraved with this kind of script.

Su Xing suddenly realized, and looked at the skeletons that had abnormalities in their forms, and felt surprised in his heart.

This is the Demon Castle Dream World, right?

Why would there be demons?

So... no wonder Qiuqiu was brought into this Graveyard District, and it was this death hall, where all the monsters were buried.

"... Spiritual energy continues to decline, Phoenix decided..."

"... Sealed a pure spiritual energy deep in the Ten Thousand Demon Hall..."

Su Xing continued to listen to Qiuqiu reading the Demon Script on the coffin, and when he heard the words "spiritual energy," his heart moved.

"Iron Smelting Record"!?
